How did DoSomething.org start?

DoSomething.org was founded in 1993 by actor Andrew Shue and his childhood friend Michael Sanchez. The mission was -- and is! -- to create a culture of volunteerism by activating young people.

Today, DoSomething has 5.5 million members, representing every US area code and 131 countries. Want to get involved, learn more about our impact, and see other DoSomething members? Check out our About Us page!
